As discussions about the roles played by information in economic,
political, and social arenas continue to evolve, the need for an
intellectual primer on information ethics that also functions as a
solid working casebook for LIS students and professionals has never
been more urgent. This text, written by a stellar group of ethics
scholars and contributors from around the globe, expertly fills
that need. Organized into twelve chapters, making it ideal for use
by instructors, this volume from editors Burgess and Knox:
thoroughly covers principles and concepts in information ethics, as
well as the history of ethics in the information professions;
examines human rights, information access, privacy, discourse,
intellectual property, censorship, data and cybersecurity ethics,
intercultural Information ethics, and global digital citizenship
and responsibility; synthesizes the philosophical underpinnings of
these key subjects with abundant primary source material to provide
historical context along with timely and relevant case studies;
features contributions from John M. Budd, Paul T. Jaeger, Rachel
Fischer, Margaret Zimmerman, Kathrine A. Henderson, Peter Darch,
Michael Zimmer, and Masooda Bashir, among others; and offers a
special concluding chapter by Amelia Gibson that explores emerging
issues in information ethics, including discussions ranging from
the ethics of social media and social movements to AI decision
making. This important survey will be a key text for LIS students
and an essential reference work for practitioners.
